Indiana recently defeated Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings 102-83. Before the win over the Wings, the fever defeated Brittney Griner and the Atlanta Dream. Advertisement After the win over Dallas, head coach Stephanie White spoke on the return of Caitlin Clark. Clark has been back in the Fever lineup over the past three games after dealing with a groin injury that once had her sidelined for five straight games. White discussed Clark getting back in rhythm over the past several games. She mentioned that Clark is starting to feel more explosive and her offense has clearly helped the Fever improve. While Clark has always been known for her offensive success, White is challenging Clark to be a consistent contributor on the defensive end. She explained that Clark has to take more pride in accomplishing goals on the defensive end, and so far she's done so. Advertisement 'You can tell she's starting to feel a little bit better, more explosive,' White said, per the Indiana Fever on YouTube. 'Her anticipation is really good. She read the plays, she read the rotations. Did a really good job of getting a hand in the passing lane. Staying disciplined to tip it so she can go steal it. That's what it's going to take from her, consistently. She's got to be able to bring able to bring the offense and the defense on the other end of the floor… For us to accomplish the things that we want to accomplish she's got to take more pride in that and I think she's done that.'

After consecutive losses to the Sparks and the Valkyries, which as a 19-point defeat, the Fever have ripped off back-to-back wins over the Atlanta Dream and Dallas Wings, both by double-digits. The mini-winning streak is seeing the Fever and star guard Caitlin Clark rewarded in CBS Sports' most recent rendition of their WNBA Power Rankings. Entering this week, the Indiana Fever sit at No. 4 in the rankings. 4. Fever The Fever's up-and-down season continued with a blowout loss to the Valkyries followed by double-digit wins over the Dream and Wings. Caitlin Clark returned to action after missing two weeks with a groin injury, and while her shooting slump has continued -- she's now 6 of 42 from 3-point range in her last six outings -- she's been excellent as a playmaker.

WNBA star Paige Bueckers shuts down reporter's Caitlin Clark question with brutal response
Caitlin Clark remains one of the WNBA 's biggest talking points however, on Sunday night, that seemed to irk one of the star's rivals. Clark, 23, showed out as the Indiana Fever stormed to a 102-83 win over the Dallas Wings - where she picked up 14 points, 13 assists and three rebounds. The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year also recorded five steals throughout the game as she continuously picked the pocket of the Wings stars. Afterwards, Wings guard Paige Bueckers was asked about Clark's impressive reading of the game and it's fair to say the WNBA star was not eager to discuss the matter. A reporter asked: 'I think a few of the turnovers were picked off by Caitlin. Was there anything in particular that you saw? 'Maybe that she was kind of a step ahead? It kind of seemed like she was jumping the passing lanes a few times'. she better get used to cc questions. it's a long ride ahead😂😂 — drafts (@drafts95452567) July 13, 2025 A straight-faced Bueckers stared back before simply replying: 'Yeah'. After a long pause, she continued: 'I mean, you answered it. She's just a very smart basketball player so she'll get out and deny passing lanes'. Clark specifically picked off a number of Buecker's passes as she helped the Fever secure the win and, in the process, set a personal record. The sophomore guard, who has played just 12 games this season due to injury, is now the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 200 points and 100 assists in a single season. While her scoring is down from last season at 16.7 points per game, she's averaging 9.0 assists a game for the Fever - second in the league behind only Alyssa Thomas. Clark, who was voted as a WNBA All-Star for the second time this season, shattered the league's single-season assist record last year. She broke the previous record set by Thomas (316 assists) with two games to spare, ultimately finishing with 337 (Thomas also re-broke her previous record and finished with 317 last season). Following her Rookie of the Year campaign last year, Clark's second season has been up-and-down thus far. She's missed nine of Indiana's 21 games due to quad and groin injuries, and has also seen her shooting percentages dip. Clark is shooting just 37.4 percent from the field (down from 41.7 last year) and 28.9 percent from three-point range (down from 34.4). She's also coughing up a league-worst 5.1 turnovers per night.
